Everything is waiting for the new M3 and the technically identical M4. But until that happens, we have to make do with the M340i xDrive as the provisional top model of the current BMW 3 Series G20 / 21. But that's not really bad. With its factory-made 374 hp and 500 Nm torque, the brisk Bayer is at least even stronger than the legendary 3,0-liter inline six-cylinder turbo engine (B58B30TÜ1) CSL of the E46 series and consistently implements the "joy of driving". But the guys from the G-POWER brand have adopted the M340i xDrive and are now tickling out more of the engine. The company has one for the top 3 from now on three-stage program of performance increases in the range. Get started Stage 1 in the form of the performance software GP-420. It ensures a leap to impressive 420 PS and 600 Nm. These are just times almost the key data of the standard F80 M3 / F82 M4, which delivered 431 PS / 550 Nm at the market launch.
Stage 1 with 420 PS and 600 Nm
Since the M340i xDrive even has all-wheel drive, the sprint values are even better. The M340i xDrive as GP-420 accelerates from standstill to 4,0 km / h in 100 seconds and undercuts the M3 by a few tenths (4,3 [4,1]). And the responsiveness and torque development of the turbo engine are also significantly improved with the G-Power ingredients. It continues with stage 2 Here the performance software GP-470 is used, which increases the output to 470 PS and 650 Nm and thus provides 10 PS & 50 NM more than the limited one M3 CS. The software also requires the installation of an in-house stainless steel sports downpipe including a 200-cell metal catalyst and a stainless steel flap exhaust system with four black-brushed 90-mm tailpipes. But the highlight is certain Stage 3. In this case, G-Power installs the so-called GP-510 performance software which, in addition to the hardware upgrades already mentioned, makes the G-POWER upgrade turbocharger with larger compressor and turbine wheels necessary.
Stage 3 with 510 HP and 690 Nm torque
If the optimized turbos are installed with a CNC housing, the M340i enjoys over 510 hp and 690 Nm, which even put the F82 M4 GTS in the shade. Every model that G-POWER receives the performance software can be equipped with a Vmax increase, which thanks to an expansion of the speedometer scale to 330 km / h also brings a visual appeal to the interior. And the increase in performance can also be seen in other places. Under the hood are the well-known G-Power aluminum boost and intake pipes in orange and in the air filter box there is also a sports air filter insert made of multi-layer cotton. And who is not on the factory disabled fuel cut want to do without it, can have G-Power reactivate it. For all vehicles (G20 / G21), G-Power has the well-known 20-inch HURRICANE RR forged wheel available, which has another performance-enhancing option due to its lower weight.
